Burnout 360

[Dealin Rams]

I checked the racing forum but didn't see anything on Burnout 360...perhaps because it's so arcadey that it's more of a non-sports??? Anyway, has anyone checked it out or planned on checking it out? It's supposed to be out today right?

I know GR:AW and CH2k6 will be taking most of my time, but I'm interested in this one too.

I picked it up today. I cancelled my preorder for Oblivion. The wife loves Burnout, so do I, and I'll never put enough time into Oblivion. I may get it over the summer.

I too am planning on picking this game up when it's available at my local game store. GR:AW and Oblivion just don't have the long term replay value that interests me. Burnout has a real solid single player and online playability that I love.

You're insane. My wife loves Burnout too, but to cancel Oblivion?

I hate RPG's, I was only in it for the graphics, but I don't have 100 hours to devote to any game.

Re: Burnout 360

I wanted to rent it but no store had it. I know from previous Burnouts that crash mode is really fun unless they screwed it up some how.

Re: Burnout 360

I gotta say, huge improvement to me over the Xbox version. Graphics are much sharper and clearer.

The sounds are amazing, they really improved the sounds, and the crashes, WOW! Everything tears apart.

Being that I love the Burnout games, I'm loving this one.

Yep. Grabbed this one. The whole family loves Burnout. The kids are playing as I type. Waiting for the racing wheel to arrive ... hopefully Friday.

Re: Burnout 360

Hey EG I read the review on Gamespot and they said the game sometimes takes a noticable framerate hit. How bad is it? I'm thinking of trading in Burnout Revenge (Xbox) and College Hoops 2K6 (Xbox).

I just got Revenge (Xbox) 2 weeks ago for $20 new. Is it worth pulling the trigger for the 360 version?

Thanks

I didn't notice any framerate dips. I don't usually pick up on those unless they are really bad. I didn't notice any at all in Full Auto. Maybe a few dips, but nothing like the reviews.

It's pretty much the same as the XBox version. I prefer the 360's feel and the achievement points, so I personally would get the 360 version.

Thanks for the word, i'll get it tomorrow. Btw I know this is a stupid question but what kind of leap in graphics can I expect? Were you wowed by the graphics EG and did you already play the Xbox version?

Thanks !

My thoughts exactly. EG should be beaten across the head with a blunt object.

I haven't played the Xbox version in a long time, but it's quite sharp. It's Need for Speed graphics for the 360 basically, so if you know how those look, just picture them in Burnout. The cars just destroy in so many cool ways, that's what makes it look better. The sounds are a huge change though.

LOL Graphik..I'm just not into RPG's, I'll get it later one, but with College Hoops and GRAW now, I won't ever touch it.
